For my 200-cigar humidor that was about half full, I placed six packets around the humidor. Having used multiple different humidifying methods in the past, I was somewhat skeptical that these packets would maintain proper humidity. However, over the course of about eight weeks the packets maintained a stable humidity of 72-71%. For my first refill, I added a seventh packet and found that the humidity stayed in the same range for almost eleven weeks. I should also mention that the RH only dropped a few percentage points around the two-month mark, so I would imagine they would maintain a decent humidity for at least several more weeks if you cannot find immediate replacements.
Overall, I was impressed with the Bóveda 72 packets. They are extremely simple to use and do an excellent job of maintaining a proper RH. Cost effectiveness would be my major complaint. These packets are not inexpensive considering how long they last and the number required for an average sized humidor. There are other less expensive humidifiers on the market; however, most require more than opening a wrapper and placing them in the humidor.
The individual packs are available in five different relative humidity levels: 65, 69, 72, 75, and 84%.
Bóveda packets are ready to use and do not require activation, water, or opening.
Bottom Line:
While not perfect, the Boveda 72 humidity control packs are an excellent, easy method to maintain humidity in most desktop humidors.

I have tried all the gels, tubes, and standard humidifiers out there. These are a bit more expensive, but they do the best job. And when they are keeping the humidity of $500 of tobacco in check, I spare no expense.Best Deals for 4-Pack: Boveda Humidifier 72%
I love the Boveda packs. I live in a very dry climate and getting humidity right can be a challenge. These make it easy.Because I live in a semi-arid area, I use these in conjunction with Drymistat tubes (adds more moisture and makes the Boveda packs last longer). The key is that they work 2-ways... they will absorb excess humidity and release moisture when things get dry. If you put them in closed tupperware with a hygrometer, it will (in time) read a perfect 72%.
PRO TIP: When my packs (set 1) are starting to dry, I swap them with new ones (set 2) and put set 1 in sealed tupperware with a humidity source (Drymistat tubes, puck-style humidifiers, etc). Over time, they will absorb the water released from the other sources and recharge. By the time set 2 starts to dry, set 1 will be ready for re-use. I keep three sets in perpetual rotation, which saves money. Works best if you don't let your packs dry out completely before swapping.

I wanted a simple way to keep a humidor at the propery humidity. These are the best thing since sliced bread for ease of use.***Be careful thought, these packets are NOT FOR SEASONING a humidor. Boveda makes an 84% packet just for seasoning that 1st time, and then you use these 72% (or whatever percent you prefer) from then on.
